Seeing his team lose its third straight game last week against New England, injured Bills safety Donte Whitner was helpless as he slumped in his couch.Watching Buffalo get dismantled while sitting at home nursing a separated shoulder, Whitner was dumbfounded with what had happened to a Buffalo team that had such spark and spunk while winning five of its first six games.
"It looked like everybody was straining and stressing and trying to make plays and compensate for what they think is missing instead of locking in and focusing on their individual job and having fun doing it," Whitner said. "During the week is when we put our work in. The things we do in practice will transfer over to the football field on game day. So there's no need to stress and do all those things."
Whitner hopes he can return from his one-game absence and be ready when Buffalo hosts the Cleveland Browns on Monday night. Though he's listed as questionable, Whitner is doing his best to play against his hometown team.
